About
Donatas Narbutis is a leading researcher in astrophotonics and astronomical instrumentation, with a focus on developing advanced photonic components for next-generation telescopes. His major contributions center on the design and optimization of 3D free-form optical lenses, which enable miniaturised fibre couplers for multi-object spectrographs. These systems use fibre positioning robots to efficiently couple light from multiple celestial sources—such as stars and galaxies—into multi-mode fibres distributed across a telescope’s focal plane. Narbutis’s work addresses critical challenges in light transport and coupling efficiency, directly impacting the performance of large-scale astronomical surveys. His most cited paper, "3D free-form optical lens — miniaturised fibre couplers for astrophotonics" (2025), has already garnered 1 citation, reflecting its early influence in the field. Beyond this, his research bridges optics, materials science, and astronomy, pushing the boundaries of compact, high-precision instrumentation. Narbutis’s achievements are vital for enabling future discoveries in astrophysics, making him a key figure in the rapidly evolving domain of astrophotonics.
